GOD'S CHARGE TO US

 GOD’S CHARGE TO US

Ps. 119:4-6 You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully. Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your principles! Then I will not be disgraced when I compare my life with your command. NLT

Want to stay on good terms with God? Carefully keep His commandments. There is no better way to stay in God’s good graces than to live so that His Word is reflected in your life. You have nothing to fear and nothing to be ashamed of when you consistently strive to live according to God’s Word. God’s standards are high and the only way that we are going to live up to them is by striving to apply them to life. When you take an inventory of your life, don’t compare yourself to anyone or anything except God’s Word.

Most of us struggle with consistently living out what we believe and know to be true. There are many reasons why it’s true. Perhaps one of the greatest factors is that we are not consistent in the amount of time we are into the Word and study it. We usually skim over the surface of familiar passages and rarely visit those passages we are not familiar with. The end result is a struggling faith practice. In order for us to be consistently strong in our faith, we must consistently feed our souls with all of the solid food of God’s Word.

God’s charge to you today is to carefully keep His Word. So, how are you doing? There is no better time than right now to renew your efforts. Ask the Lord to give you the incentive and resolve to keep His Word today and all the days of your life. And, ask Him to help you to always remember His Word so that it may guide you and help you in your journey home.
